Goal Statistics

Oxford United's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Sheffield Wednesday have conceded in each of their last 18 Championship games. A PG of 1.5 for M. Bloomfield's side suggests that run should continue.

A truly dismal PG of just 0.8 should cause concerns for Sheffield Wednesday fans, as should a 19 Championship matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
